To minimize the potential for arcing and ground-fault protection, the National Electrical Code (NEC) and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) require ground-fault protection of equipment for each branch circuit supplying electric heat tracing. Installation must comply with Thermon requirements and be installed in accordance with the NEC, CEC, or any other applicable national and local codes. Component approvals and performance ratings are based on the use of Thermon specified parts only. User supplied power connection fittings must be listed or certified for intended use. De-energize all power sources before opening enclosure. Keep ends of heating cable and kit components dry before and during installation. Individuals installing these products are responsible for complying with all applicable safety and health guidelines. Proper personal protective equipment, or PPE, should be utilized during installation. Contact Thermon if you have any additional questions. Tools Required...

3 For Single Tube With Single or Dual Trace, Complete Steps Buss Connection Indentations (Zone Heater) Buss Connection Indentations (Zone Heater) Tubing 38mm (1 1/2 ) to 76mm(3 ) Cut as Required End Seal 1. Remove outer jacket and insulation from the end of the tubing bundle. Strip back bundle insulation 38mm (1 1/2 ) to 76mm(3 ) beyond buss connection heat tracing. 2. If buss connection indentation is less than 381mm (15 ) from end of the heat tracing, proceed stripping the bundle insulation to the next indentation. 3. Remove fitting nuts and grommets. Slide the tubing bundle end seal over the tubing and heat trace. If bundle does not include heat trace, seal should only include a single fitting. Disregard any instructions toward heat trace if not applicable. Self Vulcanizing Tape Heat Trace 4. Wrap the foam insulation around the tubing bundle jacket. 5. Slide foam insulation into the area between the tubing bundle end seal and the tubing bundle jacket routing the tubes and heat trace through their designated openings. Be sure the tubing bundle end seal lid touches the end of the bundle. 6. Wrap the self vulcanizing tape around the bundle jacket. Continue wrapping the tape around the bundle and end cap making sure to overlap each wrap by 50%. Single Tube Washer Single Tube Washer Graphite Packing Material Graphite Packing Material 7. Slide a single tube washer over the tube to make contact with the fitting. Wrap graphite packing material four complete wraps around the tubing and press into the cavity on the tube fitting. Cut away excess graphite packing material. 8. Slide the second single tube washer and the fitting nut over the tube. 9. Tighten nut, compressing the washers and packing material into the fitting cavity. 3

4 Grommet PETK Termination 10. Slide the single or dual grommet and heat trace fitting nut over the heat tracer(s). 11. Tighten fitting nut to compress grommet against the heat tracer(s). Do not overtighten the fitting nut as it may deform or damage the grommet. 12. Terminate the heat trace with the appropriate PETK kit. Refer to the PETK Installation Instructions for details. (For Dual Tube Single Trace, Continue Steps 13-18) Dual Tube Washer Graphite Packing Material 13. Slide a dual tube washer over the tubes to make contact with the fitting. Wrap graphite packing material around the tubing. See inset for details. 14. Slide the second dual tube washer over the tubes compressing the graphite packing material between the two washers. 15. Slide the tube fitting nut over the tubes and tighten, compressing the packing material and washers together. Grommet PETK Termination 16. Slide the grommet and heat trace fitting nut over the heat tracer. 17. Tighten fitting nut to compress grommet against the heat tracer. Do not overtighten the fitting nut as it may deform or damage the grommet. 18. Terminate the heat trace with the appropriate PETK kit. Refer to the PETK Installation Instructions for details. 4

5 For Single Tube With No Tracer, Complete Steps ThermoTube Tube Cut as Required ThermoTube End Seal 19. Remove outer jacket and insulation from the end of the ThermoTube. 20. Remove fitting nut. Slide the ThermoTube end seal over the tube. 21. Wrap the foam insulation around the ThermoTube jacket. Self Vulcanizing Tape 22. Slide foam insulation into the area between the ThermoTube end seal and the tube jacket routing the tube through the designated opening. Be sure the ThermoTube end seal lid touches the end of the bundle. 23. Wrap the self vulcanizing tape around the bundle jacket. Continue wrapping the tape around the bundle and end cap making sure to overlap each wrap by 50%. For Dual Tubes With No Tracer, Complete Steps Tubes Cut as Required End Seal 24. Remove outer jacket and insulation from the end of the tubing bundle. 25. Remove fitting nuts and grommets. Slide the tubing bundle end seal over the tubing. 26. Wrap the foam insulation around the tubing bundle jacket. 5

6 Self Vulcanizing Tape Dual Tube Washer Graphite Packing Material 27. Slide foam insulation into the area between the tubing bundle end seal and the tubing bundle jacket routing the tubes through their designated openings. Be sure the tubing bundle end seal lid touches the end of the bundle. 28. Wrap the self vulcanizing tape around the bundle jacket. Continue wrapping the tape around the bundle and end cap making sure to overlap each wrap by 50%. 29. Slide a dual tube washer over the tubes to make contact with the fitting. Wrap graphite packing material around the tubing. See inset for details. 30. Slide the second dual tube washer over the tubes compressing the graphite packing material between the two washers. 31.
